Make a tray of these fun treats for Halloween! Keto olive cheese ball eyeballs are super-easy, with a piped cheese topping.
Olive Cheeseballs
Making spooky recipes for Halloween parties that I can eat on the keto diet is one of my favorite things! These cheeseballs might not look like any cheeseball you’ve seen before – they are even better!
Instead of a hard ball of cheese, this cheese is whipped and piped on top of a crispy low-carb biscuit. Then, a stuffed olive is placed on top to look like a bloodshot eyeball.
It is pure culinary creativity!
Olives make the perfect eyeballs! I used them before to make marinated mozzarella cheese eyeballs. The result was perfectly creepy.
If you loved to eat Cheez-Whiz as a kid, then you’ll love these fun little appetizers! There are only 2 grams net carbs in each one! So let the snacking begin!
Cheese Ball Eyeballs
To make the cheese topping, I just whipped up and piped some pub cheese spread. There aren’t any carbs in pub cheese! So, to keep the carb count low, I made the biscuits out of fathead dough.
Fathead dough is a mixture of mozzarella cheese, almond flour, egg, and cream cheese. I’ve used it before to make keto crack biscuits.
It always comes out with the perfect texture and there are so many other ways to use it.
Halloween Cheeseballs
If you or your child are learning how to use a piping bag for the first time, this is a fantastic place to start. Since you won’t be piping a specific shape or design – just a round circle – it’s a great way to practice how to hold and pipe the cheese.
You can even use different piping tips to see what kind of effects they make.
You don’t have to pipe the cheese, though. If you’d rather make a classic round cheeseball on top, follow the instructions in my Keto Mini Pumpkin Cheese Ball recipe.
This recipe will taste just as good with piped Pub cheese or with a harder, more solid cheeseball. Do what works for you and what you have in your kitchen.
Keto Cheeseballs
I do not recommend making these cheese balls ahead of time and trying to store them in your refrigerator. If you store them after you assemble them, the cheese will soften the biscuits and the texture will eventually change.
Instead, I suggest storing the biscuits, cheese, and olives separately. Then, right before you serve them, pipe the cheese and add the olives.
It takes like 5 minutes to assemble them, so they make a fantastic last-minute appetizer (as long as you have the biscuits already).
Keto Appetizers
These cute little cheese-topped biscuits make the perfect party appetizers. Serve them with some Keto Cauliflower Pizza Bites if you love cheesy foods.
To keep the finger-food theme, make some Keto Sausage and Spinach Roll Ups and Keto Air Fryer Fritters. Guests will love them!
If you want to serve some appetizers that are nutritious as well as tasty, make Keto Spinach Balls and Low-Carb Pizza Pepper Poppers. They look and taste so good that guests won’t care that they are good for them.
